Members Mbrown2858 Posted October 19, 2020 Members Posted October 19, 2020 Finally was able down to get down when the water was off. My third trip down in the last 4 weeks and they have had the water running the other 2 times. Got down late/early into Friday morning, fished all night until they blew the horn at 6am. Caught fish on Black/Brown PMS, Black Woolies, and White San Juan Worm/Pink Egg flies under a float with a glow stick from near Outlet 1 down to the skinny water. Saturday fishing was rather tough, Sunday was a good day for catching Browns! Crazy how much difference a day makes. Tan Scuds in Size 20,22 were the ticket. All the female browns were absolutely chunks! Below the dam was a zoo day and night! At one time I counted 12-15 headlights on as far down stream as I could see while fishing near the cable. Tight lines! ness, Terrierman, Greasy B and 10 others 13
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted October 19, 2020 Root Admin Posted October 19, 2020 Good to see that many medium sized browns. Mbrown2858 1
JestersHK Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Beautiful browns! Agree with Phil, good to see them and they all look healthy and colored up real nice. Congrats on some nice catching, and thanks for sharing Terrierman and Mbrown2858 2
Travis Swift Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Beautiful fish and congrats! The pictures i'm seeing online of the trophy area when the water is off is mind blowing. Looks like a zoo up top! Terrierman, JestersHK and Mbrown2858 1 2

fshndoug Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 I saw many dead browns laying on the bottom from the big hole down to almost the upper boat ramp.After watching the way most fish are handled by the anglers I can see why there is a number of fish that die,ie beaching the fish,squeezing the fish for pics,holding them out of the water for quite some time,tossing them back in the water,etc,etc. JestersHK 1

I think they are being trampled to death. ness, fshndoug, JestersHK and 2 others 1 4
Members Mbrown2858 Posted October 20, 2020 Author Members Posted October 20, 2020 It’s definitely a zoo up too! The amount of disrespectful people is absolutely absurd. The amount of people that I seen mishandle fish is just sad to see on multiple occasions. People just drag them out of the water and let them lay on the rocks and then squeeze the fish with a death grip waiting to take a picture. Then they wonder why the fish bellies up and won’t swim off on its own and they just leave it there to die and back to fishing they go. laker67, trythisonemv and JestersHK 3
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted October 20, 2020 Root Admin Posted October 20, 2020 That's most of the reason I haven't been up there fishing in a couple of years. I remember may be night fishing 2018... All week last week, there was ONE guy in a v-bottom boat boating from below the Narrows, to the Narrows and I think up to Lookout -- getting out and wading. He was the ONLY one doing it. He had a mile of awesome wading water all to himself. I have mixed feelings about even writing about it... because I don't want the word to get out. But there again I have been talking about it for years and still... no one wades this area. I personally don't really care about real big trout. I'll take those 15 to 22 inchers all day long and lots and lots of solitude. JestersHK, Mbrown2858 and Daryk Campbell Sr 3

This forum and our own reports have had a lot, or at least somewhat, to do with the popularity of Taney. ruthead, Mitch f, Daryk Campbell Sr and 3 others 4 1 1
